Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of (Live from Mexico CIty, May 11, 2011)

(04:48)

Song Lyrics

I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me
That I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing
My own company

Never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you, oh-oh
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You got to get yourself together
You got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
Did they leave you with nothing?
I am still enchanted by a light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now
My, oh my

You’ve got to get yourself together
You got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Oh Lord, look at you now
Stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm ‘til you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all, oh-oh

You’ve got to get yourself together
You got stuck in a moment
Now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass

And if the night runs over / And if the night runs overAnd if the day won’t last / And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass

It’s just a moment
It’s just a moment
It’s just a moment
It’s just a moment
It’s just a moment
It’s just a moment
This too shall pass

For Michael Hutchence
We miss him so
